Ok...I need help from all of you Broadway show experts! I am a big fan of Carrie and she blew me away with her performances of Sophie in Mama Mia...anyone know what the future might hold for her? I am hoping she makes it back to Broadway soon. Girl has WAY too much talent not to be on stage.

Thanks in advance for all those who respond!

Isn't she still in Mamma Mia? The website says so, and they're usually good with updating.

That is a negative...her last show with Mama Mia was on Sunday. Sad to say. Allison Case is now the new Sophie. Big shoes to fill. Manolakos has an incredible voice and really connected with the audience. Posting from Broadway news below about the new Sophie

Bride-to-be “Sophie Sheridan” will be played by Allison Case, making her Broadway debut direct from appearing as “Crissy” in this summer’s hit Public Theater Shakespeare in the Park production of Hair

Carey Anderson left her stint in Mamma Mia early to do Avenue Q. I was under the impressing that Manolakos was going to do the Broadway production to finish out Anderson's contract. And that when she was done she was going to go back on tour and they would bring in a new Sophie.

Any updates on this bright young star? It is ashame to see her not working...but considering all the shows closing (Title of Show, Legally Blonde, Xanadu, etc) there will be a lot of performers out there looking for work....

She's working on her own music. And is involved with upcoming FACTORY GIRLS...a project about which she is very passionate.
